Talking Deflategate to kids
1. Tom Brady went to Michigan and Michigan players don’ cheat.
2. Brady will have played in 8 Super Bowls and will have won 6, more than any other player.
3. Temperature was the likely cause http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-deflategate-thought-experiment-could-bal…
4. Their little friend Dylan is a douche bag and should shut the hell up.
What do tell your children about Tom Brady?

No, it's easy to say before the fact too. Kids cost money? Who knew
Maybe your condom breaks and you have one kid. But 4? Cmon dude

That's where we disagree. I'm not a "do gooder" in the sense of helping people who keep making mistakes

Very cool example - where is this, if you don't mind my asking?

Wow. Where did I say anything about socialism (i.e. someone should TAKE away Brady's money and do something good with it)? I said, at the outset of my post, that Brady EARNED it. It's his, no question. I'm all for capitalsim. My point was about the individual, i.e. what should a person do with their wealth, resources, influence, etc? This is purely about what Brady's personal ethics are (and other people in similar positions) and nothing to do about socio-economic systems. That's why charities are so admirable - people are making a consious decision to help others without being compelled to do so by law.

Exactly! Tell him everything above and also mention how many more Super Bowls Brady would've won if those balls would've been inflated properly!!!

Don't forget Foles - Sparty fans are claiming him now.

The press is the devil in most cases.
Tell the kid jealousy is always around people that are successfull.
Try to be successful in what you do. Don't be concerned with the people who are jealous.

Lot of Brady haters out there simply because he's got everything, or at least everything to a lot of people.
People say "well he was the quarterback, he should have known". I'd say the center has his paws on the ball more frequently and for longer than the quarterback. Nobody even thought about suspending let alone "investigating" the center. Essentially Brady ended up placing some phone calls to the equipment manager at two times, but only as a result of his name coming up with respect to deflategate. For all we know Brady was trying to figure out what happened and whether or not there was anything to the witch hunt.
I'm 100% for going after cheaters, but this was a witch hunt that verified nothing.

Tell him that Brady is the best QB ever (and a Wolverine!) and some people are jealous, like this other kid apparently. Kids don't need super-complicated explanations.

Conspiracy theory believers are idiots.
Roger Goodell is also an idiot.
Dylan is an idiot.
Tom Brady is the GOAT.
Who gives a shit how much air is in the ball, the game ended 45-7

Colts fan here. I hate deflate gate so much. We (Colts) got our ass kicked. Own it. It happens. The Patriots are fucking good.

Growing up the Green Bay Packers were what the Patriots are today. Always good, always well run and the organization everybody was trying to become. Every era has had a team like the Patriots - growing up in the Detroit area and now following the Browns I've just never had the good fortune of rooting for one
60's - Packers
70's - Steelers
80's - 49ers
90's - Cowboys
2000 and beyond - Patriots

I know we're about the same age more or less. Guess what Michigan fans were considered from 1969-2007?
Insufferable.
I really, really miss being insufferable.

I think we all aspire for Michigan football to be as good as OSU football because right now it's not. That's fair to say
February 4th, 2018 at 11:28 AM ^
Let me know when he’s coaching at Michigan, all will be forgiven.
As much as it KILLS me to say this... go eagles...

As a fellow Giants fan, you like I completely owe that SB 25 win to Bill Belichick and his bizarre yet genius defensive game plan against the easily superior Buffalo Bills.

February 4th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Blame the Mara's and Tisch's for Belichick not succeding Parcells and instead hiring Ray Handley. Yeah, McAdoo was not a one time disaster hire they've made.
